You're consistently bringing discussion back around to Dan Brown, despite the fact that this is Ron Howard's work- as others have said. I must concur with those others that you are clearly being trollish, most likely in an attempt to get the thread closed. What your motives for getting the thread closed are, I won't speculate openly.How so? Did you actually see the movie? I saw nothing offensive to the Catholic Church in it. It had one bad Bishop, who turned a deluded fanatical monk into an assassin essentially as a sort of crusade. The rest of the Church, hells, even the top hierarchy including the Pope, had nothing to do with it.It also had nothing offensive to Opus Dei in it- it mentioned that some "extreme" members practice painful rituals to bring them closer to the Divine (which is true), and mentioned accusations brought by outsiders that it's like a "cult," which are also true and existed well before this book or movie. And on top of that, it also features a member who, when he finally realizes what his corrupt Bishop has been doing, does the right thing and turns him over to the Law. I thought he represented the "average" Opus Dei member, not the insane monk or the bad Bishop, and if so it is actually highly complimentary to the group rather than offensive.Fair enough. You've given your review. Now let those of us who had no desire to boycott the film discuss it and lurk in peace, and accept that you won't be able to control our moviegoing impulses.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
